Hi my name is Robert I live in Chattanooga I am completely new to sailing. I have worked on large boats hundred foot plus for the past 10 years of my life. But now I'm looking at getting my own piece the water. My uncle says that is boat is nothing more than a hole that you will throw money into in the water, but he also find it enjoyable (he has his own yacht) so therefore I am looking to not only him but this forum for guidance. I thank you in advance for your time and knowledge. :-)
